Proverbs, aphorisms, quotations (English) by Linux fortune

        A horse breeder has his young colts bottle-fed after they're three
days old.  He heard that a foal and his mummy are soon parted.
mummy, n.:
        An Egyptian who was pressed for time.
Mummy dust to make me old;
To shroud my clothes, the black of night;
To age my voice, an old hag's cackle;
To whiten my hair, a scream of fright;
A blast of wind to fan my hate;
A thunderbolt to mix it well --
Now begin thy magic spell!
                -- Walter Disney, "Snow White"
You have Egyptian flu: you're going to be a mummy.
